The Wheel-Turning Master

The mountains are high and the forests are dense. In early spring, the chill is no less than in winter.

Stepping on dead leaves and broken branches, Pei Ning held a long sword in her hand and carried an iron bow and quiver on her back.

She wore a gray dress with her sleeves tied tightly and her waist straight.

Lin Bai also wore the same outfit, but the hairpin was replaced with a black hairpin and a copper ring on her hand.

After sending Qu Chengjia away yesterday, Lin Bai ran away without stopping.

Of course, it was very dangerous at that time. If Song Qing turned against him immediately, the big thing would be over.

But now it seems that the immortals are extremely contemptuous of ordinary people, even the deep-minded Song Qing is the same, and he doesn't take Lin Bai seriously at all.

Lin Bai felt that these immortals may not understand the principle that a lion must fight a rabbit with all its strength, but in their eyes, ordinary people are probably not even as good as rabbits.

"What's wrong with you?" Pei Ning asked when he saw Lin Bai stop.

Lin Bai looked back and said, "I always feel like something is following us."

Having seen black cicadas and moths, Lin Bai did not dare to underestimate the methods of the monks.

Although he was not afraid of deduction and tracking, if someone followed him closely, it didn't matter whether he deduced or not.

"We have been careful enough. We shot and killed all the birds and beasts that approached. If the man surnamed Song really came, it would not be a crime of war. You and I will admit it." Pei Ning smiled frankly.

She followed Lin Bai into the mountains yesterday, and until now she had not asked Lin Bai why he was sure that Qu Chengjia wanted to kill him. She just cooperated with Lin Bai.

"He came for me." Lin Bai looked at Pei Ning and said, "In fact, you don't have to go with me."

After hearing this, Pei Ning's face changed immediately, glared at Lin Bai fiercely, and walked forward.

"Why are you so anxious..." Lin Bai glanced back, and hurried to catch up, carefully apologized, and coaxed him for a long time before he was finally coaxed.

Previously, because of Qu Chengjia's presence, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were trembling with fear, and they dared not even do the slightest movement, let alone practice.

Now that Qu Chengjia is gone, and there are pursuers behind them, practice can no longer be delayed.

A warrior has no chance of winning against a foundation-building immortal master. Only after entering the Dao can there be a little chance of winning...

The immortal art previously obtained is called Ruyi Jingxin Art, and it is pointed out at the beginning that it is necessary to practice in a place full of spiritual energy.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning did not know how to distinguish whether the spiritual energy is full, but they immediately thought of the place where Qi Zhen died.

It can be seen at a glance that the area is different from other places. It is a blessed place, which should be a place full of spiritual energy.

But the cave has long been known to people and is not secret.

Therefore, Lin Bai and Pei Ning avoided it and went to find the place where Pei Wuyong hid the magic art.

At that time, Pei Ning was reminded by Sister Zhen, and then he found the magic art.

Because of this, Lin Bai deduced that there should be a blessed place nearby for practice.

The two found the place and searched for 20 miles around before finally finding a small cave entrance covered by the withered leaves of bushes.

The cave was not deep, but very narrow, only enough for one person to enter. After walking crookedly for more than ten feet, they reached the end.

The innermost part was a little bigger, but only two feet in radius. There was a stone cushion in the middle, and some ashes of burning incense on the ground.

There was nothing else.

It was hard to tell whether it was a blessed land, but living here made the whole body warm and very comfortable.

The two carefully looked around again before finally sitting down to talk.

"I was thinking that your old lover would set up some formation to prevent us from entering." Pei Ning had a smile on his face.

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I usually have to put a piece of gauze under my pulse when I diagnose a woman, so how can there be an old lover?" Lin Bai didn't expect Pei Ning to bring this up again.

"Haha." Pei Ning sneered, took out the Ruyi Jingxin Jue from his bag, and winked at Lin Bai, signaling him to come and see.

In fact, both of them had seen it many times, and Lin Bai had memorized it by heart.

However, seeing her cautious look, Lin Bai still obediently moved closer to her and took a closer look.

Their heads were about to touch each other, and they could smell each other's breath.

Pei Ning frowned slightly, obviously taking it very seriously. Lin Bai occasionally stole a peek at her lips.

"This Ruyi Jingxin Jue is the entry method for cultivation, and it has the effect of calming the mind. It is suitable for people with average qualifications to practice."

"According to the book, the first step is to feel the qi and detect the location of the spiritual energy. The second step is crucial, which is to lead the spiritual energy into the body, cleanse the whole body, and then change the physique, so that it can better absorb the spiritual energy into the body, become a Zhoutian change, and use spiritual power to drive the magic."

"This second step is a little dangerous. It is best to have an elder or a very trusted person to protect you."

Pei Ning said the annotations recorded on the magic formula

When she said this, she slightly turned her head to look at Lin Bai and said, "You have been peeking at me. Is it because a man and a woman are in a lonely room together, and you want to sleep with me?"

"We are still running for our lives. Am I so bored?" Lin Bai frowned, as if you look down on me so much.

"That's right." Pei Ning nodded, "You have slept with the immortal master, how can you look down on my mortal body?"

"Let's talk about cultivation first..." Lin Bai felt that Pei Ning's ability to be weird was a little bigger.

Sure enough, Pei Ning stopped looking for trouble and started to discuss seriously with Lin Bai.

Both of them were rookies and cautious. After discussing for a long time, Lin Bai insisted on going first.

After all, it was the first time, Lin Bai was worried that Pei Ning might make a mistake, and he had the stone plate with him, so he was more confident.

Pei Ning was not a shy person. Seeing Lin Bai's determination, she agreed and just stood by with a sword to protect him.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the stone cushion, closed his eyes, and emptied his mind.

People have appeared on the stone plate. According to the method contained in Ruyi Jingxin Jue, silently feel the spiritual energy veins around you.

However, it was useless. After sitting for a long time, I did not feel the presence of spiritual energy in the stone plate...

"According to Ruyi Jingxin Jue, future practice cannot be separated from spiritual energy. If this is the case, wouldn't it be impossible to practice in a stone plate?"

Lin Bai thought about it for a while and then opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Peining asked with concern.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I'll try again."

I closed my eyes and didn't enter the stone plate this time. Only return the body and mind to tranquility, isolate the five senses, do not ask about foreign affairs, and do not hear external disturbances.

After a long time, Lin Bai felt nothing. Instead, he felt that Pei Ning's mood seemed to be getting more and more tense, as if he was very worried.

Opening her eyes and meeting Peining's gaze, she was as calm as water.

Lin Bai knew her well. She was always like this, even if there was a turmoil in her heart, she could act like nothing was wrong.

"You go out first." Lin Bai said.

"As if I'm happy to stay here." Peining laughed, turned around and left the cave.

After a while, he came in again, holding a rope.

"If something happens, remember to pull the thread. I...I'll come see you in an hour." Peining put one end of the thread into Lin Bai's hand and went out with the sword.

After she left, the cave became even quieter. Lin Bai waved his sleeves to extinguish the torch and continued to close his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but I seemed to hear the subtle sound of trickling water.

After distinguishing for a long time, it was determined that the sound came from under the stone futon.

The "water" seemed very light, slowly rising up, but becoming less and less.

Lin Bai felt as if he was bathing in "water", and the water slowly soaked into his body from his skin.

Like a slight acupuncture, the "water" enters the skin, followed by flesh, blood, organs, and muscles.

The pain intensified, as if I had become dirty clothes, been soaked in water, and then been beaten with a stick.

I don’t know how long it took, but this feeling like a shrew doing laundry disappeared. The water-like spiritual energy slowly entered the sea of ​​​​qi in the body with the breathing.

Man has two great secrets. One is the sea of ​​consciousness, which is the place where one’s destiny is. It can condense spiritual consciousness and realize the magical power of one’s destiny. The mystery is not explained in detail in the method.

Another secret is the sea of ​​qi, which stores spiritual energy and uses it as a basis to drive spells with spiritual power. As the cultivation level gets higher, the Qi Sea becomes thicker and stronger.

The two secret treasures complement each other and form the foundation of spiritual practice and the beginning of the great road.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and felt the slightest trace of spiritual energy slowly entering the sea of ​​​​qi from three acupoints.

There are spiritual orifices within the human Qi sea. There are at most nine or at least one orifice. The number of spiritual orifices is the so-called "qualification" for practice.

The more spiritual apertures are born, the smoother the path of cultivation will be. If one is born with nine orifices, then the golden elixir will also have a smooth path. If there is only one orifice, the path of cultivation will be extremely difficult.

However, this is only a rough statement. The quality of your qualifications also depends on your character, the strength of the Qi sea, the amount of spiritual energy you can hold, and your destiny.

But no matter what, the number of spiritual apertures is the most direct judgment to distinguish the level of qualifications.

However, there are no absolutes. Once God has given the spiritual aperture to open it, it means that the road to the great road is not yet complete. There are also many so-called "poor qualifications" who only have one or two spiritual apertures, but they go further on the road to greatness.

Especially the higher the level of cultivation, the number of spiritual apertures is not as important as one’s destiny.

The sea of ​​​​qi has spiritual orifices, but the sea of ​​consciousness is different, because the destiny has been determined and will not change until death.

Your natal life is crucial to the direction of your spiritual path. Just like Qu Chengjia, who is destined to be a black turtle in the river, he can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing water-related exercises and numerology. He can also learn from the black turtle the magical power of deducing traces.

After a long time, Lin Bai only felt a trace of spiritual energy gathering in the sea of ​​​​qi, which in turn traveled throughout his body and became spiritual power that he could use.

But too little. Firstly, his qualifications are indeed average; secondly, the spiritual energy here is too thin.

"Qu Chengjia said that my qualifications are not very good, but he said that Sister Ning's qualifications are good. Sister Ning must have more spiritual apertures than me...and this is a desolate place, so there must be less spiritual energy."

When he opened his eyes, he saw Peining looking at him.

"How long has it been?" Lin Bai asked.

"One day and one night." Pei Ning stared into Lin Bai's eyes and asked, "How's it going?"

"I have entered the Tao." Lin Bai smiled.

Entering the Tao means entering into cultivation, which is already the first level of Qi training.

"It's different after sleeping with an immortal." There was no emotion or anger in Peining's tone.

"If you sleep with me now, you can be considered as sleeping with an immortal." Lin Bai said shamelessly.

Pei Ning couldn't help laughing, and Lin Bai also laughed.

This time they saw hope for the future, and both of them felt more relaxed.

"It's up to you." Lin Bai touched his stomach and felt a little hungry, "I have a lot of experience, and I will tell you all about it."

Peining shook her head and said, "No matter how stable you are, I will protect you." She was very cautious and took out a water bag and a deer leg.

Lin Bai was not pretentious and naturally agreed.

And vaguely, Lin Bai felt that after entering the Taoism, the stone plate should change.
